The deal, in writing.

What you get

• Hosting and a page for each game, on this domain, with a card, a play URL, search metadata and a sitemap entry.
• Accounts, cloud saves, room codes, leaderboards — one script tag, no backend to run.
• Real numbers: plays, distinct players, median session, day-1 and day-7 return, referrers — the same numbers the arcade ranks by.
• Publishing from your agent: a CLI, a Claude Code skill and an MCP server. First upload is a draft; you flip it live.
• Your build back, any time: the same folder you uploaded, as a portal-ready zip. Listing here never blocks listing anywhere else.

Money

• Publishing is free for up to three games. Pro is $9 a month for unlimited games and priority placement, month to month, cancel any time.
• Revenue share: 70% to you of net revenue from ads shown around your game and from purchases made inside it through the arcade's checkout, once those are switched on for your game. Net means after the ad network's and the payment processor's fees, nothing else.
• Paid monthly once your balance passes $50, by bank transfer or PayPal. Your dashboard shows the running number.
• No exclusivity, ever. Not for the share, not for placement.

Rules

• Your game, your IP. You give Freeplay a non-exclusive licence to host and show it while it is listed. Unpublish and it stops.
• Say so if AI helped — code, art, sound, any of it. It shows as a small line on the page. It is never used to rank, hide or reject a game.
• Original work. No clones, no asset flips, no rehosted games you do not own. Anyone can report a game; a report is read by a person.
• Not aimed at children. No content or design targeting under-13s.
• One build, our envelope: index.html at the root, ≤ 50 MB, ≤ 1,500 files, no calls to third parties except your own game server. The SDK is the only thing you add.

How the front page is ordered

Not by who you are. Games are ranked by what players do: whether it loads within 20 seconds, whether people play more than three minutes, and whether they come back the next day. Every new game is listed the moment you flip it live; the ranking only decides how high. The gate is for featuring, not for admission.
